ProudI like to tell you a bit about who I am and why I do what I do. I live in picturesque Zuid-Beijerland with my boyfriend, our 2 children (Mees & Lotte) and our dog.
Years ago, I learnt how a camera works at the Fotovakschool. So I knew I wanted to do this for a long time but I still found it difficult to discover which direction I wanted to take. So I looked for another job, got into a relationship and my camera disappeared further and further into the closet.
But then I was allowed to become a mother. In my case, motherhood came with a dose of anxiety; suddenly I was aware of my mortality. There came a huge need to make memories with and for my little ones. Only then did I really understand what a photograph actually is. It is a tangible memory. It brings back a feeling.
I make art out of the everyday.
